Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Against The Wind

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems like yesterday 
But it was long ago 
Janie was lovely, she was the queen of my nights 
There in the darkness with the radio playing low 
And the secrets that we shared 
The mountains that we moved 
Caught like a wildfire out of control 
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove 

And I remember what she said to me 
How she swore that it never would end 
I remember how she held me oh so tight 
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then 

Against the wind 
We were running against the wind 
We were young and strong, we were running
Against the wind 

And the years rolled slowly past 
And I found myself alone 
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends 
I found myself further and further from my home 
And I guess I lost my way 
There were oh so many roads 
I was living to run and running to live 
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed 

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time 
Breaking all of the rules that would bend 
I began to find myself searchin' 
Searching for shelter again and again 

Against the wind 
A little something against the wind 
I found myself seeking shelter 
Against the wind 

Well those drifters' days are past me now 
I've got so much more to think about 
Deadlines and commitments 
What to leave in
What to leave out 

Against the wind 
I'm still runnin' against the wind 
I'm older now but still running
Against the wind
Well I'm older now and I'm still running
Against the wind...
